NewZed Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I need a spare distributor and have located one from a 1981 Maxima with L24E and automatic transmission. I have downloaded every manual from the Xenon site so can find curves for almost all of the Z engines, but can't find anything similar on the internet in the 810/Maxima world. Does anyone know where this information exists or does someone have the information for the 1981 year? I'm looking for mechanical and vacuum advance numbers and when they happen. Thanks for any help.

NewZed Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Thanks rayaapp, I appreciate it. I see that this one has the super high vacuum advance. Kind of scary. And the dual vacuum advance curves (dual vacuum ports from what I've gathered), which I assume are switched some how. Not really clear yet on how that works, I would guess rpm based (Edit - just found something similar in a ZX FSM. Apparently it's an emissions control thing, with a cold, warm, normal position - strange). Thanks again.

rayaapp2 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) There is a Thermal vacuum valve aka "TVS", Thermal Vacuum Switch to us in California,(coolant temp actuated) AND an electrical Water Temp Switch ties that distributor to the battery.
